The supervisors of elections in
Baltimore have refused to permit
the Reform League of that city to
sexamine the list Of election judges
and clerks appointed for 1886 and
1887, with the changes made, on the
ground that the reasons assigned by
the League for wanting to make the
examination, are deficient in can
dor and "manifestly frivolous" To
the impartial eye Of Tar CAPITAL it
looks as If the refusal to permit
their books to be examined, is a
frivolous" excuse on the part of
the supervisors to cover up some
thing that the voters of Baltimore
have right to know.

Tux passage of the Interstate
Commerce act has brought about
the irrepressible office-seekers, and
the friends of the bill in Congress
are besieged by these hungry seek
ers after office. The President
probably did not bargain for the Of
fiee-seekers when he loaned his ten
derest consideration to the bill. It
also seems that he neglected to re-
member the effect it would have on
some of the railroads. President
Jas. G. Clarke, Of the Illinois Cen

proposes convention of all the
leading railroad men to consider
the matter and meet the measure
BY increasing the fares 100 per
